Ahh, my Saint!
Stay awhile and listen as I tell the tale of my forgotten and despised Viking king.
Saint Canute IV dream was to re-establish the legendary North Sea Empire of his ancestor, Canute the Great, and forevermore cement Danish Control of the north. (1/25)
St. Canute, Martyr (1086)
King of Denmark, he constructed churches, maintained missionaries, gave alms to the poor, and was kind to all. He foretold he would be put to death for justice sake. He was killed while praying at the foot of the altar in the church of St. Alban.
El Salvador gets to have their own Somalia Incident.
Trying to help a foreign nation out of genuine humanitarian interests, then get fucked over and rewritten as the bad guys while the people they try to help brag about forcing them out.
100%.
This is why I insist to young men (and really anyone) that they pray a daily Rosary to obtain freedom from pornography, self-abuse, fornication, etc.
The clarity of mind you attain by doing such things is absolutely incredible. Until you do it, you cannot know.
Thank you. ✝️Fr. Jim Costigan passed at 12:17 this morning, October 23rd. Fr. Louis asked for continued prayers for Fr. Jim in Purgatory, he was 75 years old. ❤️🔥
“How nice it is to think that God is just! It means He takes our weakness into account and knows full well how frail we are by nature.”
~ St. Thérèse of Lisieux
The loneliness of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane is often overlooked. Adam had Eve as his companion. Christ had the Apostles as His friends. Yet all but Christ succumbed to temptation, leaving Him alone in His sufferings. An angel, however, comforted Him when no human did.
This is hilarious 😂😂🇫🇷 Left-wing radicals in Lyon have committed friendly fire by defacing the historic Fontaine des Jacobins with anarcho-communist graffiti, hammer-and-sickle tags, and pro-Palestine stickers.
Ironically, the monument that they defaced belongs to the grandfathers of communism.
The radical Jacobins of the French Revolution are widely recognized as the ideological ancestors of modern communism and anti-Western revolutionary movements.
